Into the Ether
Not yet published
Expected 25 Dec 26This dark coming-of-age tale takes us deep within to What if the only way out...is in?
A Canadian debut in psychological horror and dark fantasy; Into the Ether begins with eighteen-year-old Freddy and his family living the ugly reality of domestic abuse-and languishing in the fallout.
When Freddy falls into the ether, ripped from the languid life he knows, he becomes trapped inside a nightmare realm built from his darkest memories. Forced to endure monstrous manifestations of his past, shadows hunt him through a surreal descent into survival.
With a mysterious ally as his only guide, he must confront the horrors of his past to reach freedom, before he discovers it's too late.
*If you love books like Stephen King & Peter Straub's The Talisman or Black House, movies like The Labrynth or The Goonies, or survival horror games like Silent Hill and Dante's Inferno, add this to your list!</p>
Content warning (18+): Contains graphic depictions of child and domestic abuse, including physical and psychological abuse; sexual violence and sexual references; alcohol misuse; body horror; and supernatural violence. Includes neglect, trauma, and distressing memories.
